A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow. The moon passes behind the earth and prevents the sun's rays from striking the moon.
There are three basic types of lunar eclipses:
1. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse - when the moon passes through the Earth's penumbral (outer) shadow. This type of eclipse is very subtle and difficult to notice.
2. Partial Lunar Eclipse - when part of the moon passes through the Earth's umbral (inner) shadow. This type of eclipse is easy to see.
3. Total Lunar Eclipse - then the entire moon passes through the Earth's umbral shadow. The moon turns a red hue.
A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle.
